FC Barcelona has not been able to defend the Spanish Super Cup title and is very 'touched' with a poor performance against a Real Madrid that, with Brazilian samba, has won its first title of the season

Point of break for a FC Barcelona that remained without soul in Saudi Arabia and fit a painful goleada by part of the Real Madrid. In a night without shine, marked by the defensive errors and in which Xavi never found the formula to win him in the blackboard to Carlo Ancelotti, the blaugrana leave without title and with a sea of doubts by in front. Vinicius Jr And Rodrygo Goes were the hangmen of a Barça that finish with ten in the lawn.

The Barcelona knew which were the big threats of a Real Madrid that, with spaces, kills to any rival without exception. The physical power and capacity to change the history with a pass was one of the dangers that proposed the duel and the Barça left the feeling that all his efforts were oriented to 'benefit' and improve the virtues of his rival. And this time with a title of by half that leaves more 'touched' to the culés. Vinicius Jr Has condemned, of cruel way and almost without suffering, to the ones of Xavi Hernández.

The show of Vinicius Jr in Saudi Arabia

And it is that the first part of the crash in the To the-Awwal Stadium, the house of Cristiano Ronaldo and his To the-Nassr, went a homage of the Brazilian to 'CR7', with something that neither even he had achieved: A 'hat-trick' to the Barça in less than 40 minutes. It benefited of the spaces that left the saga culé, of unfit them and of the fragility that left to glimpse his rival every time that his advanced lines. And, this time, the puntería was very fine-tuned: Proof of this were his two goals in three minutes. The first arrived after a pass filtered of Jude Bellingham that left 'portrayed' to Jules Koundé and left to 'Vini' in a one against one with Iñaki Crag that finish with a finish to empty door.

The second, without time to react, arrived with Brazilian combination: Rodrygo went in career and left him the balloon so that, from the lawn, pushed it and marked the difference. It was 'desatado' and tricking the mark of Ronald Araújo, to leave to the Barça 'grogui' trying clear the 'X' to carry out a Classical that seemed very complicated and in which Ílkay Gündogan seemed the only that had the clear ideas. It threw of leadership and ambition (that that once said that it was missing in the changing room) and put the team in his shoulders to try a change. A reaction. The Teutonic looked for the 'last' beat of the heart blaugrana so that the final did not finish prompt and was the one who tried to advance lines and approach to the area of Lunin.

The Ukrainian had to appear in a few occasions. And it saved several approaches of Ferran Torres or the own Lewandowski, that resisted to give by defeated. More by impetus that by arguments. The White House, by his part, went down a course and began to live in own field, without extreme suffering but without alternatives to launch to the attack. In one of those, Mendy could not clear rightly and left the balloon died in the area. The Polish forward took advantage of the unfit to command a powerful volley in which Lunin did not have at all that do. It was the 2-1 that put to the Catalans in the contention.

Without time for the celebration of the Barça

The bad news is that the goal 'woke up' to the ones of Ancelotti... And the third did not take in arriving. When Vinicius had to finish a centre of Aurelién Tchouameni to the second stick, fell in the lawn demolished by Ronald Araújo, the one who finished seeing the yellow in a played that lit the controversy. The '7' was the attendant to earn it in front of Iñaki Crag that, although it guessed the direction of his finish to the left, could not do at all and went the main viewer of the 'hat-trick' of 'Vini'. The Barça paid, by enésima time, his errors.

In the resumption, the Barcelona went back to do with the command of the balloon and forzaron to the madridistas to be increasingly near of his area, but without the very clear ideas of how hurt him to the Madrid. By the contrary, without a lot of opportunities, every time that the 'merengues' advanced lines, generated an insoportable feeling of danger, with the two Brazilians leading the attack and with Jude Bellingham like the player commissioned of 'free' the way.

Point of break definite for the Barça

The fault of mobility forced to Xavi to change his approach, or at least the protagonists, but the history did not do more than worsening. And it is that when the Barça began to join up with the changes, the Madrid went back to mark in a played in which the defensive saga went back to remain portrayed: Koundé cut a pass backwards of 'Vini' and left the balloon died in the heart of the area so that it appeared Rodrygo and commanded a pass to the network, adjusted at the end of the goal of Crag.

It was the full stop for a group culé that was desquiciado. No longer there was form to react and the physical factor went in at stake, although they went in players much more physicists to counter the good operation of the Madrid. The superiority, now yes, was being evident: Each change of rhythm was a clear occasion and, for more satisfy, Ronald Araújo finish expelled by double yellow by a fault on 'Vini', with the one who will have nightmares tonight. It arrived late and it finish striking without objection to the attacker. Hecatombe Barcelona.
